46 The Bengali Poem , Candi, 
All wash their mouths, and, ending the repast, 
Camphor and hetel-leaf are handed last.* 
Each guest receives his present when they part; 
The merchant’s open hand wins every heart. 
Then to Durvasas,f patron of the clan, 
A horse is given whereon sat never man; 
While Kaugiki J receives her ewer of gold, 
And unto Satgan’s guilds their silken bales are told. 
* These lines are repeated in the same words in another part of the poem, hut with 
a different couplet at the end: 
Then pulpy durian-seeds are handed last, 
And juicy mangoes finish the repast, 
f A celebrated ancient sage. 
X A form of the goddess Durga or Candi.
